Revert "CommitBuilder should check for duplicate parents"
This reverts commit
6bc48cdc62287934ce1b7003280b19a5994e7668.
Until git v1.7.10.2~29^2~1 (builtin/merge.c: reduce parents early,
2012-04-17), C git merge would make merge commits with duplicate parents
when asked to with a series of commands like the following:
git checkout origin/master
git merge --no-ff origin/master
Nowadays "git merge" removes redundant parents more aggressively
(whenever one parent is an ancestor of another and not just when
duplicates exist) but merges with duplicate parents are still permitted
and can be created with git fast-import or git commit-tree and history
viewers need to be able to cope with them.
CommitBuilder is an interface analagous to commit-tree, so it should
allow duplicate parents. (That said, an option to automatically remove
redundant parents would be useful.)
